I know it's irrational fear. My breast lump turned out to be just what everyone thought it was, a benign fibroadenoma, common in people in their twenties.
Now I have other health fears. Just today I felt this dull fleeting ache on the left side of my chest. It went away, but now I'm wondering if I could drop dead any moment now. I think I should get my heart checked out. I'm not exactly a fit person, and I don't eat right, maybe I have severe blockages in my arteries. :-(
I do hear what you are saying though. I'm not sick like those people in the hospital and I should be very grateful and glad.
I remember when I OD'd and went to the hospital, the doctors weren't all that reassuring. I thought I was going to die. (I didn't want to die.) I felt really sick and it was horrible, thinking my kidneys might fail and I might have pulmonary edema. It was really scary. Now that I think about it I wasn't dying and the doctors were probably just scaring me, but I know what you mean about wanting to sell one's soul to get out of a serious situation (or what I thought was serious).
